I wrote a long function (attached so that you know it is not a post by a lazy student seeking an answer for his assignment) nd then I sensed that what I wrote is long and rediculous and coule be full of mistakes (still incomplete). I hope you can help
In short I have column A(daily date numbersover 4 years) and 5 columns that i want to count. Column B is always 1 and it is equals to the sum of rows in columns C,D,E, and F. So, Column C, D, E,F are complementary: if row C=1,rows D,E,and F must be zeros;if row D=1,rows C,E,and F must be zeros;if row E=1,rows C,D,and F must be zeros;and finally if row F=1,rows C,D,and E must be zeros;
How can do the counting in two ways
- count the number of observations in columns B,C,D,E, and F for every day of every month of every year
- count the number of observations in columns B,C,D,E, and F for every month of every year
I feel that it is much easier to compute than reporting a long fucntion with loops. I appreciate any assistance.
